Swing and a miss. Striking out. Fair or foul. Rounding the bases. Touching them all.
Baseball is back. The latest opening day in history is upon us but nonetheless it’s still opening day.
Baseball is as much a part of America as mom, apple pie, the flag – and the movies.
No sport has been romanticized on the silver screen as often as baseball. Hollywood has been betting on baseball for decades and it still delivers a winning performance. Diamonds Are Forever isn’t just a James Bond film. It perfectly describes the relationship between the Silver Screen and the American Pastime.
Grab your peanuts and Cracker Jack, because you’re about to get caught in a run down of the greatest baseball films ever made.
42 (2013)
A biopic of when Jackie Robinson broke baseball’s color barrier while wearing No. 42 for the 1947 Brooklyn Dodgers, hence the title. The film earned $27.3 million during its opening weekend.

In the midst of March Madness and with the Kentucky Derby around the corner, the first pitch of baseball season is almost here.
A quote from Field Of Dreams best describes America’s national pastime, “The one constant throughout the years has been baseball.”
To mark the start of the 2016 season, here’s our list of the Best Baseball movies.
The Bad News Bears
Considered by some to be the best baseball movie ever, the film celebrates its 40th anniversary this month (April 7, 1976). In an article from the NY Daily News, one line reads, “It is a movie that someone like the late Philip Seymour Hoffman called his favorite, and one which resonates on many levels today, with all different generations.”
Who are we to argue with greatness?
After skewering all-American subjects such as politics (The Candidate) and beauty pageants (Smile), director Michael Ritchie naturally set his sights on the...

“The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it’s a part of our past, Ray. It reminds us of all that once was good and it could be again.” – Field Of Dreams.
No truer words were ever spoken about America’s Pastime. Baseball began this past Spring with 30 teams vying for the chance to become World Champions and now it’s been decided.

Moneyball is one of the year's most anticipated films and it will be hitting theaters this Friday. Starring Brad Pitt as Billy Beane, the general manager of the Oakland A's who lead a team of castoffs to the American League playoffs back in 2003, the film is based on Michael Lewis' ("The Blind Side") bestselling book of the same name, and has been mentioned for awards season kudos.
The film debuted in Toronto at the beginning of this month where it didn't cement it as the Oscar frontrunner, but it didn't knock it out of contention either. Most of the reviews coming out of the festival were positive to glowing including Brad's take on the film (read that here) when he saw it on the first day of the fest.
Hollywood hasn't made that many baseball movies over the years but the ones they have made have often been terrific. Here,...
